本发明涉及电子技术领域,尤其涉及释放非授权频谱后的数据处理方法及用户设备。The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular, to a data processing method and user equipment after releasing an unlicensed spectrum.
背景技术Background technique
根据最新发布的美国联邦通信委员会(Federal Communications Commission,FCC)国际频谱白皮书,非授权或免许可频谱(unlicensed spectrum)资源要大于授权频谱资源。非授权频谱包括用于工业、科学和医疗(ISM,Industrial、scientific and medical)等设备的频段,如在美国有三个频段902-928MHz、2400-2484.5MHz及5725-5850MHz,2.4GHz为各国共同的ISM频段。用于2.4GHz ISM频段上使用的主要技术是无线保真(WiFi,Wireless Fidelity)或称为无线局域网(WLAN,wireless local network)、蓝牙、紫蜂(Zigbee)等。wifi基于电子电气工程师协会(IEEE,Institute of Electrical andElectronics Engineers)802.11系列标准,如802.11a、802.11b、802.11g、802.11n、802.11ac等,wifi一般使用2.4GHz ISM频段和5GHz频段。例如802.11ac可以使用5GHz非授权频谱,在欧洲、日本802.11ac可以使用的频率范围包括5170MHz~5330MHz、5490~5710MHz,在美国除上述频率范围外,还额外支持5710~5730MHz频率范围。802.11ac信道化(channelization)可以支持20MHz、40MHz、80MHz、160MHz等带宽方式。According to the newly released Federal Communications Commission (FCC) International Spectrum White Paper, unlicensed or unlicensed spectrum resources are larger than licensed spectrum resources. Unlicensed spectrum includes frequency bands used for industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM, Industrial, scientific and medical) equipment. For example, in the United States, there are three frequency bands 902-928MHz, 2400-2484.5MHz and 5725-5850MHz. 2.4GHz is common to all countries. ISM band. The main technologies used in the 2.4GHz ISM band are Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) or wireless local network (WLAN), Bluetooth, Zigbee, and the like. WiFi is based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.11 series standards, such as 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, etc. WiFi generally uses the 2.4GHz ISM frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band. For example, 802.11ac can use the 5GHz unlicensed spectrum. In Europe and Japan, 802.11ac can use the frequency range of 5170MHz to 5330MHz and 5490 to 5710MHz. In the United States, in addition to the above frequency range, it also supports the additional frequency range of 5710 to 5730MHz. 802.11ac channelization can support bandwidth modes such as 20MHz, 40MHz, 80MHz, and 160MHz.
非授权频谱由很多用户共享,这些用户可能属于不同的无线接入技术(RAT,radioaccess technology),如LTE、wifi、蓝牙(bluetooth)等。使用非授权频谱的LTE、wifi和蓝牙等设备需要在传输前先侦听频谱是否空闲,即“讲前先听(LBT,Listen before Talk)”,以避免对正在使用非授权频谱的其他用户的干扰。用户获取到非授权频谱后的最大占用时间也有相应的规定,需要在使用一定时间后释放,空闲一定时间然后重新开始竞争非授权频谱,从而给予各用户以公平竞争和使用非授权频谱的机会。The unlicensed spectrum is shared by many users, and these users may belong to different radio access technologies (RAT, radio access technology), such as LTE, wifi, bluetooth and so on. Devices such as LTE, wifi, and Bluetooth that use unlicensed spectrum need to monitor whether the spectrum is free before transmission, that is, "Listen before Talk (LBT)" to avoid other users who are using unlicensed spectrum. interference. There are also corresponding regulations on the maximum occupancy time of the unlicensed spectrum after the user acquires it. It needs to be released after a certain period of use, and then restart the competition for the unlicensed spectrum after being idle for a certain period of time, thus giving each user a fair opportunity to compete and use the unlicensed spectrum.
而当前现有技术中,缺少释放非授权频谱资源后的相应的处理机制。However, in the current prior art, there is no corresponding processing mechanism after releasing unlicensed spectrum resources.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
具体实现中,非授权频谱由很多用户共享,这些用户可能属于不同的无线接入技术(RAT,radio access technology),如LTE、wifi、蓝牙(bluetooth)等。使用非授权频谱的LTE、wifi和蓝牙等设备需要在传输前先侦听频谱是否空闲,即“讲前先听(LBT,Listenbefore Talk)”,以避免对正在使用非授权频谱的其他用户的干扰。用户获取到非授权频谱后的最大占用时间也有相应的规定,需要在使用一定时间后释放,空闲一定时间然后重新开始竞争非授权频谱,从而给予各用户以公平竞争和使用非授权频谱的机会。比如,以LTE系统和wifi系统在非授权频谱共存为例进行说明。其中,LTE系统为蜂窝系统的代表,其他的蜂窝系统还可以包括UMTS、GSM、CDMA2000等;wifi为异系统的代表。具体实现中,LTE基站根据发射功率和下行(downlink)覆盖范围的不同一般可以分为微基站(Pico eNB)、小基站(Micro或small eNB)或宏基站(macro eNB),本发明后续所涉及的基站可以是上述LTE系统中的各种基站。具体实现中,LTE系统使用非授权频谱时,在基站的覆盖区域可能存在异系统如wifi系统使用同一频带的非授权频谱,在LTE系统和wifi系统的共同覆盖区域可能存在同频干扰,例如当LTE系统和wifi系统的覆盖有重叠且频率有重叠时,如果LTE系统和wifi系统在有重叠的频率范围同时在各自的系统进行通信,则可能导致同频干扰。因此,LTE系统和wifi系统需要在系统间进行协作或者各系统的设备均通过检测和避让等方式共享非授权频谱,以使各系统都能够正常进行通信。由此,便可能存在本发明实施例所述的LTE系统或wifi系统需要释放非授权频谱,并在空闲一段时间后重新竞争并获取所述非授权频谱的情形,以维持LTE系统和wifi系统的非授权频谱的共享。本发明实施例后续的部分实施例中,将以LTE系统中的基站释放非授权频谱后的相关数据处理为例,对各种系统的非授权频谱释放后的处理流程进行举例说明,由此,后续的方法同样适用于LTE系统之外的其他系统。In a specific implementation, the unlicensed spectrum is shared by many users, and these users may belong to different radio access technologies (RAT, radio access technology), such as LTE, wifi, Bluetooth (bluetooth), and so on. Devices such as LTE, wifi, and Bluetooth that use unlicensed spectrum need to monitor whether the spectrum is free before transmitting, that is, "listen before talk (LBT, Listen before Talk)" to avoid interference to other users who are using unlicensed spectrum. . There are also corresponding regulations on the maximum occupancy time of the unlicensed spectrum after the user acquires it. It needs to be released after a certain period of use, and then restart the competition for the unlicensed spectrum after being idle for a certain period of time, thus giving each user a fair opportunity to compete and use the unlicensed spectrum. For example, the coexistence of an LTE system and a wifi system in an unlicensed spectrum is taken as an example for description. The LTE system is a representative of a cellular system, and other cellular systems may also include UMTS, GSM, CDMA2000, etc.; wifi is a representative of a different system. In specific implementation, LTE base stations can generally be classified into micro base stations (Pico eNB), small base stations (Micro or small eNB) or macro base stations (macro eNB) according to the difference in transmit power and downlink coverage. The base station can be various base stations in the above-mentioned LTE system. In the specific implementation, when the LTE system uses the unlicensed spectrum, there may be different systems in the coverage area of the base station, such as the wifi system using the unlicensed spectrum of the same frequency band, and there may be co-frequency interference in the common coverage area of the LTE system and the wifi system. When the coverage of the LTE system and the wifi system overlap and the frequencies overlap, if the LTE system and the wifi system communicate in their respective systems at the same time in the overlapping frequency ranges, co-channel interference may be caused. Therefore, the LTE system and the wifi system need to cooperate between the systems, or the devices of each system share the unlicensed spectrum by means of detection and avoidance, so that each system can communicate normally. Therefore, there may be a situation in which the LTE system or the wifi system according to the embodiment of the present invention needs to release the unlicensed spectrum, and re-compete and acquire the unlicensed spectrum after being idle for a period of time, so as to maintain the LTE system and the wifi system. Sharing of unlicensed spectrum. In some subsequent embodiments of the embodiments of the present invention, the related data processing after the unlicensed spectrum is released by the base station in the LTE system will be taken as an example to illustrate the processing flow after the unlicensed spectrum is released in various systems. The subsequent methods are also applicable to other systems other than the LTE system.
进一步,在LTE系统中,3GPP长期演进高级技术(LTE-A,long term evolutionadvanced)载波聚合(CA,carrier aggregation)通过将多个连续或者非连续的分量载波(CC,component carrier)进行聚合以提高用户峰值数据速率和系统吞吐量。所聚合的分量载波包括一个主小区(PCell,Primary)和0至5个辅小区(SCell,secondary cell),最大支持100MHz带宽。PCell和SCell可以共站址(collocate或co-site)或者非共站址,后者例如由基站和远端射频头(RRH,remote radio head)分别提供PCell和SCell。PCell是用户设备(UE,user equipment)执行随机接入过程(random access procedure)初始接入系统时的小区(cell)或者执行切换过程(handover procedure)接入到目标基站时的小区。PCell还提供安全性(security)和非接入层(NAS,Non-Access Stratum)信令传输。SCell主要提供额外的无线资源用于数据传输。LTE-A可以通过CA技术利用非授权频谱。因此,后续的部分实施例中,将以SCell利用非授权频谱为例进行说明。Further, in the LTE system, 3GPP long term evolution advanced technology (LTE-A, long term evolution advanced technology) carrier aggregation (CA, carrier aggregation) by aggregating multiple contiguous or non-consecutive component carriers (CC, component carrier) to improve the User peak data rate and system throughput. The aggregated component carrier includes one primary cell (PCell, Primary) and 0 to 5 secondary cells (SCell, secondary cell), and supports a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz. PCell and SCell can be co-sited (collocate or co-site) or non-co-sited, the latter for example, PCell and SCell are provided by a base station and a remote radio head (RRH, remote radio head), respectively. A PCell is a cell (cell) when a user equipment (UE, user equipment) performs a random access procedure (random access procedure) to initially access the system or a cell when it performs a handover procedure (handover procedure) to access a target base station. PCell also provides security (security) and non-access stratum (NAS, Non-Access Stratum) signaling transmission. SCell mainly provides additional radio resources for data transmission. LTE-A can utilize unlicensed spectrum through CA technology. Therefore, in some subsequent embodiments, the SCell will use the unlicensed spectrum as an example for description.
具体的,图1为本发明的释放非授权频谱后的数据处理方法的一实施例的流程示意图。如图1所示,其可包括:Specifically, FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an embodiment of a data processing method after releasing an unlicensed spectrum of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, it may include:
步骤S110,当用户设备确定基站释放了非授权频谱,所述用户设备监测所述基站对所述非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,所述释放时间指示所述基站从释放非授权频谱至重新获取所述非授权频谱的时间间隔。Step S110, when the user equipment determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum, the user equipment monitors the length of the release time of the base station to the unlicensed spectrum, and the release time instructs the base station from releasing the unlicensed spectrum to re-acquiring the spectrum. The time interval of the unlicensed spectrum.
步骤S111,当所述释放时间未超过时间阈值,所述用户设备暂停依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,并在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,恢复所述数据处理过程。Step S111, when the release time does not exceed a time threshold, the user equipment suspends the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, and resumes the data processing process after the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum .
步骤S112,当所述释放时间超过所述时间阈值,所述用户设备终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,并选择授权频谱重新开始新的数据处理过程或者在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,重新开始新的数据处理过程。Step S112, when the release time exceeds the time threshold, the user equipment terminates the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, and selects the licensed spectrum to restart a new data processing process or re-acquires the data at the base station. After the unlicensed spectrum is described, a new data processing process is restarted.
具体实现中,在步骤S110或者在步骤S110之前,用户设备确定基站释放了非授权频谱,其确定方法包括但不限于如下方式:In a specific implementation, in step S110 or before step S110, the user equipment determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum, and the determination method includes but is not limited to the following ways:
所述用户设备在接收到所述基站发送的释放非授权频谱的指示信息时确定所述基站释放了非授权频谱;The user equipment determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum when receiving the indication information sent by the base station for releasing the unlicensed spectrum;
或者,or,
所述用户设备根据所述基站的参数检测到所述基站释放了所述非授权频谱。The user equipment detects that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum according to the parameters of the base station.
以LTE-A系统为例,基站获取到非授权频谱后,基站和用户设备(UE)通过SCell的无线资源进行通信。通信一段时间之后,基站释放非授权频谱,则基站向UE发送非授权频谱释放指示信息,上述指示信息可通过物理下行控制信道(包括物理下行控制信道(Physicaldownlink control channel,PDCCH)或增强的物理下行控制信道(enhanced physicaldownlink control channel,EPDCCH))发送,或者,通过媒体接入层控制控制元素(Mediumaccess control control element,MAC CE)发送。这样当UE接收到基站通过PDCCH或EPDCCH或MAC CE发送的释放非授权频谱的指示信息时,便可确定所述基站释放了非授权频谱。或者,UE通过对LTE参考信号的测量检测到基站释放了非授权频谱。Taking the LTE-A system as an example, after the base station acquires the unlicensed spectrum, the base station and the user equipment (UE) communicate through the wireless resources of the SCell. After a period of communication, the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum, and the base station sends the unlicensed spectrum release indication information to the UE. The above indication information can be passed through the physical downlink control channel (including the physical downlink control channel (Physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) or enhanced physical downlink A control channel (enhanced physical downlink control channel, EPDCCH)) is sent, or, it is sent through a medium access control control element (Medium access control control element, MAC CE). In this way, when the UE receives the indication information of releasing the unlicensed spectrum sent by the base station through the PDCCH, EPDCCH or MAC CE, it can determine that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum. Alternatively, the UE detects that the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum by measuring the LTE reference signal.
具体实现中,在步骤S110,所述用户设备监测基站对非授权频谱的释放时间的长短的方式,包括但不限于如下这些方式:In a specific implementation, in step S110, the user equipment monitors the length of the release time of the unlicensed spectrum by the base station, including but not limited to the following methods:
方式1:所述用户设备启动一个等待时间定时器用于记录所述基站对非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,当所述等待时间定时器未超时,确定所述释放时间未超过所述时间阈值,当所述等待时间定时器超时后,确定所述释放时间超过所述时间阈值。Mode 1: the user equipment starts a waiting time timer to record the length of the release time of the unlicensed spectrum by the base station, when the waiting time timer does not expire, it is determined that the release time does not exceed the time threshold, After the waiting time timer expires, it is determined that the release time exceeds the time threshold.
仍以LTE-A系统为例,当UE确定基站释放了非授权频谱后,启动等待时间定时器(可记为:wait-timer),用于记录所述基站对非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,若在UE接收到基站发送的重新获取到非授权频谱的指示之前或者UE未检测到基站重新获取了非授权频谱,均说明非授权频谱还处于释放时间段内,由此,本发明实施例,当在基站重新获取到非授权频谱并指示UE之前或者UE重新检测到基站获取了非授权频谱之前(说明非授权频谱的释放时间在继续),若等待时间定时器未超时,确定所述释放时间未超过时间阈值;而当在基站重新获取到非授权频谱并指示UE之前或者UE重新检测到基站获取了非授权频谱之前(说明非授权频谱的释放时间在继续),若等待定时器超时,确定所述释放时间超过时间阈值。在该方式中,等待定时器的超时时间点即为所述时间阈值。具体实现中,等待时间定时器可以是单独的定时器,或者重用现有技术的去激活定时器(sCellDeactivationTimer),UE接收到基站的释放非授权频谱指示或者自己检测到非授权频谱释放,可以启动或重新启动去激活定时器,或者如果去激活定时器已经运行,则继续维持去激活定时器;在去激活定时器超时前,确定释放时间未超过时间阈值,当去激活定时器超时后,确定释放时间超过所述时间阈值。Still taking the LTE-A system as an example, when the UE determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum, it starts a waiting time timer (which can be recorded as: wait-timer), which is used to record the length of the time that the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum. , if the UE receives the instruction sent by the base station to re-acquire the unlicensed spectrum or the UE does not detect that the base station has re-acquired the unlicensed spectrum, it means that the unlicensed spectrum is still within the release time period. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention , before the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum and instructs the UE or before the UE re-detects that the base station has acquired the unlicensed spectrum (indicating that the release time of the unlicensed spectrum continues), if the waiting time timer does not expire, it is determined that the release The time does not exceed the time threshold; and before the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum and instructs the UE or before the UE re-detects that the base station has acquired the unlicensed spectrum (indicating that the release time of the unlicensed spectrum continues), if the waiting timer times out, It is determined that the release time exceeds a time threshold. In this manner, the timeout time point of the waiting timer is the time threshold. In specific implementation, the waiting time timer may be a separate timer, or reuse the deactivation timer (sCellDeactivationTimer) of the prior art. The UE may start the unlicensed spectrum release instruction after receiving the base station's indication or detecting the unlicensed spectrum release by itself. Or restart the deactivation timer, or if the deactivation timer is already running, continue to maintain the deactivation timer; before the deactivation timer expires, determine that the release time does not exceed the time threshold, and when the deactivation timer expires, determine The release time exceeds the time threshold.
方式2:所述用户设备接收基站发送的具体的非授权频谱的释放时间,并将所述接收的释放时间与预先设置的时间阈值比较,以确定所述接收的释放时间是否超过所述预先设置的时间阈值。Mode 2: The user equipment receives the specific release time of the unlicensed spectrum sent by the base station, and compares the received release time with a preset time threshold to determine whether the received release time exceeds the preset time. time threshold.
具体实现中,所述具体的非授权频谱的释放时间至少包括如下时间中的一种:所述非授权频谱被其他设备占用的时间(比如,基站检测到高优先级设备如雷达占用了非授权频谱时,将雷达占用非授权频谱的时间发送给UE)、所述非授权频谱的释放和获取的间隔周期(例如周期信息可以是规律性的子帧模式(subframe pattern)信息,表示释放到下一次获取到频谱之间的时间间隔,该规律是周期性的。所述周期由共享非授权频谱的系统之间进行协商确定)、所述非授权频谱供其他设备使用的预留时间(例如可以是异系统的设备以网络配置向量(NAV,NetAllocation Vector)的方式发送的请求发送(RTS,request tosend)或清除发送(CTS,clear to send)帧中所包含的时间信息)、所述基站所在系统在非授权频谱的静默时间(该静默时间指LTE系统不发送任何信息,以留给其他系统竞争频谱的机会,在此期间,其他系统可能占用频谱或者不占用频谱。)。当然具体实现中,用户设备也可直接接收异系统的设备以网络配置向量(NAV,Net Allocation Vector)的方式发送的请求发送(RTS,request to send)或清除发送(CTS,clear to send)帧中所包含的时间信息),并以接收的时间信息作为非授权频的释放时间。In a specific implementation, the specific release time of the unlicensed spectrum includes at least one of the following times: the time when the unlicensed spectrum is occupied by other devices (for example, when the base station detects that a high-priority device such as a radar is occupied by an unlicensed spectrum) When the frequency spectrum is used, the time when the radar occupies the unlicensed spectrum is sent to the UE), the interval period of the release and acquisition of the unlicensed spectrum (for example, the period information can be regular subframe pattern information, indicating that the release to the next The time interval between acquiring the spectrum once, the law is periodic. The period is determined by negotiation between the systems sharing the unlicensed spectrum), the reserved time of the unlicensed spectrum for other devices (for example, you can It is the time information contained in the request to send (RTS, request to send) or clear to send (CTS, clear to send) frame sent by a device of a different system in the form of a network configuration vector (NAV, NetAllocation Vector), where the base station is located. The silent time of the system in the unlicensed spectrum (the silent time means that the LTE system does not send any information to leave the opportunity for other systems to compete for the spectrum. During this period, other systems may occupy or not occupy the spectrum.). Of course, in the specific implementation, the user equipment can also directly receive a request to send (RTS, request to send) or clear to send (CTS, clear to send) frame sent by a device in a different system in the form of a network configuration vector (NAV, Net Allocation Vector). The time information contained in ), and the received time information is used as the release time of the unlicensed frequency.
方式3:所述用户设备接收基站发送的非授权频谱的释放指示并根据所述释放指示和预先设置的规则计算所述基站对非授权频谱的释放时间,并将所述计算出的释放时间与预先设置的时间阈值比较,以确定所述接收的释放时间是否超过所述预先设置的时间阈值(比如,基站检测到高优先级设备如雷达占用了非授权频谱时,向UE发送特殊的释放指示,或者释放指示中包含异系统类型信息,则UE根据频谱法规获知需要释放较长时间,例如至少2小时以上。)Mode 3: The user equipment receives the release instruction of the unlicensed spectrum sent by the base station and calculates the release time of the unlicensed spectrum by the base station according to the release instruction and the preset rules, and compares the calculated release time with that of the unlicensed spectrum.

For example, when monitoring the length of the release time of the unlicensed spectrum through the waiting timer, if the UE receives the unlicensed spectrum acquisition instruction or synchronization instruction information sent by the base station before the waiting time timer expires, or the UE itself detects that the LTE restarts After obtaining the unlicensed spectrum, the UE stops the waiting time timer, and the UE can monitor the PDCCH, perform downlink reception and uplink transmission, and continue or continue the HARQ operation before releasing the unlicensed spectrum, such as receiving downlink HARQ retransmission or new HARQ operation sent by the base station.

所述用户设备选择授权频谱重新开始新的HARQ处理过程或者在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,重新开始新的HARQ处理过程。比如,以LTE-A为例,UE可选择授权频谱上的PCell或SCell发送LTE释放非授权频谱前未发送成功的MAC CE;MAC CE包括但不限于缓冲区状态报告(BSR,buffer status report)、功率余量报告(PHR,power headroomreport)等上行MAC CE。当选择授权频谱上的PCell或SCell发送上行MAC CE时,UE重新生成MAC CE按照新的HARQ传输进行。LTE释放非授权频谱前未发送成功的其它传输块TB由高层无线链路控制(RLC,radio link control)层负责重传或者也可以选择直接生成新的传输块在授权频谱上的PCell或SCell进行HARQ传输。The user equipment selects a licensed spectrum to restart a new HARQ process or restarts a new HARQ process after the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum.

需要说明的是,本发明实施例所述的“暂停”可替换为“挂起”、“临时取消”、“暂时不进行”等描述,其表达的意思均是暂时停止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,但是保留已经进行的数据处理过程,以便后续对数据处理过程能在已经进行的过程上进行继续。本发明实施例所述的“恢复”可替换为“继续”、“延续”等描述,其表达的意思均是继续暂停时未完成的数据处理过程。It should be noted that the "suspend" in the embodiment of the present invention may be replaced with descriptions such as "suspend", "temporarily cancel", "temporarily do not proceed", etc., all of which express the meaning of temporarily suspending attachment to the unauthorized The data processing process of the spectrum, but the data processing process that has been carried out is reserved, so that the subsequent data processing process can continue on the process that has been carried out. "Resume" described in the embodiments of the present invention may be replaced with descriptions such as "continue", "continuation", etc., which means to continue the unfinished data processing process during the pause.
具体实现中,本发明的数据处理过程可包括不连续接收DRX过程;则在步骤S112,所述用户设备终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,包括:In a specific implementation, the data processing process of the present invention may include a discontinuous reception DRX process; then in step S112, the user equipment terminates the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, including:
所述用户设备执行依附于所述非授权频谱的如下操作中至少一种:执行HARQ实体复位操作、执行使用所述非授权频谱的小区的去激活操作、停止所述各DRX定时器;The user equipment performs at least one of the following operations attached to the unlicensed spectrum: performing a HARQ entity reset operation, performing a deactivation operation of a cell using the unlicensed spectrum, and stopping the respective DRX timers;
其中,执行HARQ实体复位操作、执行使用所述非授权频谱的小区的去激活操作的处理方式,参考对HARQ的相关处理方式,在此不进行赘述。The processing methods for performing the HARQ entity reset operation and performing the deactivation operation of the cell using the unlicensed spectrum refer to the related processing methods for HARQ, which will not be repeated here.
当非授权频谱的小区与授权频谱的小区使用相同的DRX参数配置和DRX操作时,所述用户设备终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程时,不停止所述各DRX定时器;When the cell of the unlicensed spectrum and the cell of the licensed spectrum use the same DRX parameter configuration and DRX operation, when the user equipment terminates the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, the DRX timers are not stopped;
当非授权频谱的小区与授权频谱的小区执行不相同的DRX参数配置时,所述用户设备终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程时,停止所述各DRX定时器。When the cell of the unlicensed spectrum and the cell of the licensed spectrum perform different DRX parameter configurations, the user equipment stops the DRX timers when terminating the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum.
比如,以LTE-A为例,当非授权频谱上的SCell执行独立于授权频谱上的PCell和SCell的DRX操作,即该SCell上的DRX参数配置和UE在该SCell上的活动时间独立于授权频谱上的载波的DRX参数配置和活动时间。本发明实施例在步骤S112,不停止所述各DRX定时器。而当非授权频谱上的SCell执行与授权频谱上的PCell和SCell的共同DRX操作(commonDRX),现有技术中共同DRX操作指各SCell上的DRX参数配置重用PCell上的DRX参数配置,UE在各SCell和PCell上的活动时间规律相同,即激活状态的各SCell和PCell要么都处于活动时间(active time),要么都处于非活动时间(inactive time)。此时,在步骤S112,UE对非授权频谱上的SCell执行去激活操作或HARQ复位操作,但不停止各DRX定时器,因为授权频谱上的PCell和其他SCell的DRX操作的正常进行还需要依赖于这些定时器的运行或停止。For example, taking LTE-A as an example, when the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum performs the DRX operation that is independent of the PCell and SCell on the licensed spectrum, that is, the DRX parameter configuration on the SCell and the active time of the UE on the SCell are independent of the license. DRX parameter configuration and active time of carriers on the spectrum. In this embodiment of the present invention, in step S112, the DRX timers are not stopped. When the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum performs a common DRX operation (commonDRX) with the PCell and the SCell on the licensed spectrum, the common DRX operation in the prior art means that the DRX parameter configuration on each SCell reuses the DRX parameter configuration on the PCell. The active time rules on each SCell and PCell are the same, that is, each SCell and PCell in an active state are either in active time (active time) or in inactive time (inactive time). At this time, in step S112, the UE performs a deactivation operation or a HARQ reset operation on the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum, but does not stop each DRX timer, because the normal operation of the DRX operation of the PCell and other SCells on the licensed spectrum still depends on depending on the running or stopping of these timers.
本实施例提供的DRX处理方法,可以使UE根据非授权频谱释放时间的长短进行相应的处理,如对DRX定时器的处理和监听PDCCH的处理,使非授权频谱释放期间和LTE重新获取非授权频谱后的DRX操作能够顺利进行或延续,以利于UE在非授权频谱工作时达到更好的省电效果。The DRX processing method provided in this embodiment can enable the UE to perform corresponding processing according to the length of the unlicensed spectrum release time, such as the processing of the DRX timer and the processing of monitoring the PDCCH, so that the unlicensed spectrum release period and LTE re-acquisition of unlicensed The post-spectrum DRX operation can be carried out or continued smoothly, so that the UE can achieve better power saving effect when working in the unlicensed spectrum.
具体实现中,本发明实施例的数据处理过程包括自动重传请求ARQ过程;In a specific implementation, the data processing process in the embodiment of the present invention includes an automatic repeat request ARQ process;
则在步骤S111,所述用户设备暂停依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,包括:Then in step S111, the user equipment suspends the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, including:
所述用户设备执行依附于所述非授权频谱的如下操作中至少一种:挂起无线链路控制层RLC的重排序定时器、挂起轮询重传定时器;The user equipment performs at least one of the following operations attached to the unlicensed spectrum: suspending the reordering timer of the radio link control layer RLC, and suspending the polling retransmission timer;
以LTE-A为例,在CA所聚合的各小区由同一个LTE基站所提供的情况下,RLC状态报告(RLC status report)、设置了轮询位(poll)的RLC协议数据单元(PDU)、需要重传的RLCPDU等信息可以在授权频谱上的PCell或SCell或者在非授权频谱上的SCell进行发送,因此当LTE临时释放非授权频谱后,UE和基站自然可以在授权频谱上的PCell或SCell上发送上述信息。但是,如果CA所聚合的各小区由不同的LTE基站所提供的情况下,如果提供非授权频谱的小区所在的基站没有配置其它授权频谱,则非授权频谱释放时间大于一定门限时,UE和基站可以通过另外一个基站所提供的小区进行发送。Taking LTE-A as an example, in the case that each cell aggregated by CA is provided by the same LTE base station, the RLC status report (RLC status report), the RLC protocol data unit (PDU) with the polling bit (poll) set , Information such as RLCPDUs that need to be retransmitted can be sent on the PCell or SCell on the licensed spectrum or the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum, so when LTE temporarily releases the unlicensed spectrum, the UE and the base station can naturally be on the PCell or SCell on the licensed spectrum. The above information is sent on the SCell. However, if the cells aggregated by the CA are provided by different LTE base stations, and if the base station where the cell that provides the unlicensed spectrum is located does not have other licensed spectrum configured, then when the unlicensed spectrum release time is greater than a certain threshold, the UE and the base station The transmission can be performed through a cell provided by another base station.
在3GPP小小区增强(SCE,small cell enhancement)项目中,可以在基站间进行CA,主基站(MeNB,master eNB)提供PCell和0至多个SCell,辅基站(SeNB,secondary eNB)提供1至多个SCell,如果SeNB配置了上行,则SeNB至少一个SCell需要配置PUCCH,该SCell为SeNB上的主小区。对于用户面的数据无线承载(data radio bearer),可以仅位于SeNB上,通过SeNB和服务网关(SGW,serving gateway)的S1-U接口进行通信;可以分裂(split)为两个逻辑信道(logical channel)通过MeNB与UE的无线接口和SeNB与UE的无线接口和UE进行数据传输,通过MeNB与SGW的S1-U接口与网络进行通信。如果SeNB上仅提供了一个主小区,且该主小区在非授权频谱上,则LTE释放非授权频谱后需要对ARQ过程进行相应的处理。比如,如果在LTE释放非授权频谱之前:UE从SeNB接收到一个或多个下行RLC协议数据单元(PDU,packet data unit),但没有来得及向基站发送RLC状态报告(RLC status report)反馈RLC PDU的接收状态,包括RLC PDU接收成功ACK和/或接收失败NACK的信息;和/或UE向SeNB发送了一个或多个RLC PDU,但还没有接收到SeNB发送的RLC状态报告,或者UE已经接收到了SeNB发送的RLC状态报告,但未来得及执行RLC PDU重传,在这些情况下,均涉及非授权频谱释放后的ARQ处理问题。In the 3GPP small cell enhancement (SCE, small cell enhancement) project, CA can be performed between base stations, the master base station (MeNB, master eNB) provides PCell and 0 to multiple SCells, and the secondary base station (SeNB, secondary eNB) provides 1 to multiple SCell, if the SeNB is configured with uplink, at least one SCell of the SeNB needs to configure the PUCCH, and the SCell is the primary cell on the SeNB. For the data radio bearer of the user plane, it can only be located on the SeNB, and communicate through the S1-U interface of the SeNB and the serving gateway (SGW, serving gateway); it can be split into two logical channels (logical channels). channel) to transmit data through the radio interface between the MeNB and the UE and between the SeNB and the UE and the UE, and communicate with the network through the S1-U interface between the MeNB and the SGW. If only one primary cell is provided on the SeNB, and the primary cell is on the unlicensed spectrum, the ARQ process needs to be processed accordingly after the LTE releases the unlicensed spectrum. For example, if before LTE releases unlicensed spectrum: UE receives one or more downlink RLC protocol data units (PDU, packet data unit) from SeNB, but does not have time to send RLC status report (RLC status report) to base station to feedback RLC PDU and/or the UE has sent one or more RLC PDUs to the SeNB, but has not received the RLC status report sent by the SeNB, or the UE has received The RLC status report sent by the SeNB is reached, but the RLC PDU retransmission cannot be performed in the future. In these cases, the ARQ processing problem after the release of the unlicensed spectrum is involved.

相应的,本发明实施例公开了可用于实施上述方法实施例的流程的用户设备。下面结合图2-图5对本发明实施例的用户设备的结构组成示意图进行举例说明。Correspondingly, the embodiments of the present invention disclose user equipment that can be used to implement the processes of the foregoing method embodiments. The following describes schematic diagrams of the structure and composition of the user equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 .
图2为本发明的用户设备(UE)的一实施例的结构组成示意图。如图2所示,其可包括:监测模块21、第一处理模块22以及第二处理模块23,其中:FIG. 2 is a schematic structural composition diagram of an embodiment of a user equipment (UE) according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, it may include: a monitoring module 21, a first processing module 22 and a second processing module 23, wherein:
监测模块21,用于当用户设备确定基站释放了非授权频谱,监测所述基站对所述非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,所述释放时间指示所述基站从释放非授权频谱至重新获取所述非授权频谱的时间间隔;The monitoring module 21 is configured to monitor the length of the release time of the unlicensed spectrum by the base station when the user equipment determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum, and the release time instructs the base station from releasing the unlicensed spectrum to re-acquiring the unlicensed spectrum. the time interval for said unlicensed spectrum;
第一处理模块22,用于当所述监测模块21监测的所述释放时间未超过时间阈值,暂停依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,并在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,恢复所述数据处理过程;The first processing module 22 is used to suspend the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum when the release time monitored by the monitoring module 21 does not exceed a time threshold, and re-acquire the unlicensed spectrum at the base station After that, resume the data processing process;
第二处理模块23,用于当所述监测模块21监测的所述释放时间超过所述时间阈值,终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,并选择授权频谱重新开始新的数据处理过程或者在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,重新开始新的数据处理过程。The second processing module 23 is configured to terminate the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum when the release time monitored by the monitoring module 21 exceeds the time threshold, and select the licensed spectrum to restart a new data processing process Or after the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum, a new data processing process is restarted.
具体实现中,如图3所示,可选的,本发明实施例的用户设备还可包括释放确定模块20,用于在接收到所述基站发送的释放非授权频谱的指示信息时确定所述基站释放了非授权频谱,或根据所述基站的参数检测到所述基站释放了所述非授权频谱。以LTE-A系统为例,基站获取到非授权频谱后,基站和用户设备(UE)通过SCell的无线资源进行通信。通信一段时间之后,基站释放非授权频谱,则基站向UE发送非授权频谱释放指示信息,上述指示信息可通过物理下行控制信道(包括物理下行控制信道(Physical downlink controlchannel,PDCCH)或增强的物理下行控制信道(enhanced physical downlink controlchannel,EPDCCH))发送,或者,通过媒体接入层控制控制元素(Medium access controlcontrol element,MAC CE)发送。这样当UE的释放确定模块20接收到基站通过PDCCH或EPDCCH或MAC CE发送的释放非授权频谱的指示信息时,便可确定所述基站释放了非授权频谱。或者,UE的释放确定模块20通过对LTE参考信号的测量检测到基站释放了非授权频谱。In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 3 , optionally, the user equipment in this embodiment of the present invention may further include a release determination module 20, configured to determine the The base station releases the unlicensed spectrum, or detects that the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum according to the parameters of the base station. Taking the LTE-A system as an example, after the base station acquires the unlicensed spectrum, the base station and the user equipment (UE) communicate through the wireless resources of the SCell. After a period of communication, the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum, and the base station sends the unlicensed spectrum release indication information to the UE. The above indication information can be passed through the physical downlink control channel (including the physical downlink control channel (Physical downlink control channel, PDCCH) or enhanced physical downlink control channel. A control channel (enhanced physical downlink control channel, EPDCCH)) is sent, or, it is sent through a medium access control control element (Medium access control control element, MAC CE). In this way, when the release determining module 20 of the UE receives the indication information of releasing the unlicensed spectrum sent by the base station through the PDCCH, EPDCCH or MAC CE, it can determine that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum. Alternatively, the release determination module 20 of the UE detects that the base station releases the unlicensed spectrum by measuring the LTE reference signal.
具体实现中,如图4所示,所述监测模块21,可包括:第一监测模块211、第二监测模块212以及第三监测模块213中任一种,In a specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 4 , the monitoring module 21 may include: any one of the first monitoring module 211 , the second monitoring module 212 and the third monitoring module 213 ,
第一监测模块211,用于启动一个等待时间定时器用于记录所述基站对非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,当所述等待时间定时器未超时,确定所述释放时间未超过所述时间阈值,当所述等待时间定时器超时后,确定所述释放时间超过所述时间阈值。仍以LTE-A系统为例,当UE确定基站释放了非授权频谱后,通过第一监测模块211启动等待时间定时器(可记为:wait-timer),用于记录所述基站对非授权频谱的释放时间的长短,若在UE接收到基站发送的重新获取到非授权频谱的指示之前或者UE未检测到基站重新获取了非授权频谱,均说明非授权频谱还处于释放时间段内,由此,本发明实施例,当在基站重新获取到非授权频谱并指示UE之前或者UE重新检测到基站获取了非授权频谱之前(说明非授权频谱的释放时间在继续),若等待时间定时器未超时,确定所述释放时间未超过时间阈值;而当在基站重新获取到非授权频谱并指示UE之前或者UE重新检测到基站获取了非授权频谱之前(说明非授权频谱的释放时间在继续),若等待定时器超时,确定所述释放时间超过时间阈值。在该方式中,等待定时器的超时时间点即为所述时间阈值。具体实现中,等待时间定时器可以是单独的定时器,或者重用现有技术的去激活定时器(sCellDeactivationTimer),UE接收到基站的释放非授权频谱指示或者自己检测到非授权频谱释放,可以启动或重新启动去激活定时器,或者如果去激活定时器已经运行,则继续维持去激活定时器;在去激活定时器超时前,确定释放时间未超过时间阈值,当去激活定时器超时后,确定释放时间超过所述时间阈值。The first monitoring module 211 is used to start a waiting time timer for recording the length of the release time of the base station to the unlicensed spectrum. When the waiting time timer does not expire, it is determined that the release time does not exceed the time threshold. , when the waiting time timer expires, it is determined that the release time exceeds the time threshold. Still taking the LTE-A system as an example, when the UE determines that the base station has released the unlicensed spectrum, the first monitoring module 211 starts a waiting time timer (may be recorded as: wait-timer), which is used to record the unlicensed frequency of the base station. The length of the release time of the spectrum. If the UE receives the instruction sent by the base station to re-acquire the unlicensed spectrum or the UE does not detect that the base station has re-acquired the unlicensed spectrum, it means that the unlicensed spectrum is still within the release time period, and is determined by Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, before the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum and instructs the UE or before the UE re-detects that the base station has acquired the unlicensed spectrum (indicating that the release time of the unlicensed spectrum continues), if the waiting time timer does not Timeout, it is determined that the release time does not exceed the time threshold; and before the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum and instructs the UE or before the UE re-detects that the base station has acquired the unlicensed spectrum (indicating that the release time of the unlicensed spectrum continues), If the waiting timer expires, it is determined that the release time exceeds the time threshold. In this manner, the timeout time point of the waiting timer is the time threshold. In specific implementation, the waiting time timer may be a separate timer, or reuse the deactivation timer (sCellDeactivationTimer) of the prior art. The UE may start the unlicensed spectrum release instruction after receiving the base station's indication or detecting the unlicensed spectrum release by itself. Or restart the deactivation timer, or if the deactivation timer is already running, continue to maintain the deactivation timer; before the deactivation timer expires, determine that the release time does not exceed the time threshold, and when the deactivation timer expires, determine The release time exceeds the time threshold.
第二监测模块212,用于接收基站发送的具体的非授权频谱的释放时间,并将所述接收的释放时间与预先设置的时间阈值比较,以确定所述接收的释放时间是否超过所述预先设置的时间阈值。具体实现中,所述具体的非授权频谱的释放时间至少包括如下时间中的一种:所述非授权频谱被其他设备占用的时间(比如,基站检测到高优先级设备如雷达占用了非授权频谱时,将雷达占用非授权频谱的时间发送给UE)、所述非授权频谱的释放和获取的间隔周期(例如周期信息可以是规律性的子帧模式(subframe pattern)信息,表示释放到下一次获取到频谱之间的时间间隔,该规律是周期性的。所述周期由共享非授权频谱的系统之间进行协商确定)、所述非授权频谱供其他设备使用的预留时间(例如可以是异系统的设备以网络配置向量(NAV,Net Allocation Vector)的方式发送的请求发送(RTS,request to send)或清除发送(CTS,clear to send)帧中所包含的时间信息)、所述基站所在系统在非授权频谱的静默时间(该静默时间指LTE系统不发送任何信息,以留给其他系统竞争频谱的机会,在此期间,其他系统可能占用频谱或者不占用频谱。)。当然具体实现中,用户设备也可直接接收异系统的设备以网络配置向量(NAV,Net Allocation Vector)的方式发送的请求发送(RTS,request to send)或清除发送(CTS,clear to send)帧中所包含的时间信息),并以接收的时间信息作为非授权频的释放时间。The second monitoring module 212 is configured to receive the specific release time of the unlicensed spectrum sent by the base station, and compare the received release time with a preset time threshold to determine whether the received release time exceeds the preset time threshold. Set time threshold. In a specific implementation, the specific release time of the unlicensed spectrum includes at least one of the following times: the time when the unlicensed spectrum is occupied by other devices (for example, when the base station detects that a high-priority device such as a radar is occupied by an unlicensed spectrum) When the frequency spectrum is used, the time when the radar occupies the unlicensed spectrum is sent to the UE), the interval period of the release and acquisition of the unlicensed spectrum (for example, the period information can be regular subframe pattern information, indicating that the release to the next The time interval between acquiring the spectrum once, the law is periodic. The period is determined by negotiation between the systems sharing the unlicensed spectrum), the reserved time of the unlicensed spectrum for other devices (for example, you can It is the time information contained in the request to send (RTS, request to send) or clear to send (CTS, clear to send) frame sent by a device of a different system in the form of a network configuration vector (NAV, Net Allocation Vector). The silent time of the system where the base station is located in the unlicensed spectrum (the silent time means that the LTE system does not send any information to leave the opportunity for other systems to compete for the spectrum. During this period, other systems may occupy or not occupy the spectrum.). Of course, in the specific implementation, the user equipment can also directly receive a request to send (RTS, request to send) or clear to send (CTS, clear to send) frame sent by a device in a different system in the form of a network configuration vector (NAV, Net Allocation Vector). The time information contained in ), and the received time information is used as the release time of the unlicensed frequency.

Subframes requiring HARQ retransmission on the PUSCH do not perform uplink HARQ retransmission. The UE retains the data in the uplink HARQ buffer, which is used for adaptive uplink HARQ retransmission according to the base station's uplink grant (UL grant), or non-adaptive HARQ retransmission after LTE re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum. .

具体实现中,本实施例中暂停监听物理下行控制信道、暂停下行接收、暂停上行发送等的处理方式参考对HARQ的相关处理方式,在此不进行赘述。In the specific implementation, the processing methods of suspending monitoring of the physical downlink control channel, suspending downlink receiving, and suspending uplink transmission in this embodiment refer to the related processing methods for HARQ, which will not be repeated here.
具体实现中,本实施例中恢复监听物理下行控制信道、恢复下行接收、恢复上行发送等的处理方式参考对HARQ的相关处理方式,在此不进行赘述。In specific implementation, in this embodiment, the processing methods of resuming monitoring of the physical downlink control channel, resuming downlink reception, resuming uplink transmission, etc. refer to the related processing methods for HARQ, which will not be repeated here.
需要说明的是,本发明实施例所述的“暂停”可替换为“挂起”、“临时取消”、“暂时不进行”等描述,其表达的意思均是暂时停止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程,但是保留已经进行的数据处理过程,以便后续对数据处理过程能在已经进行的过程上进行继续。本发明实施例所述的“恢复”可替换为“继续”、“延续”等描述,其表达的意思均是继续暂停时未完成的数据处理过程。It should be noted that the "suspend" in the embodiment of the present invention may be replaced with descriptions such as "suspend", "temporarily cancel", "temporarily do not proceed", etc., all of which express the meaning of temporarily suspending attachment to the unauthorized The data processing process of the spectrum, but the data processing process that has been carried out is reserved, so that the subsequent data processing process can continue on the process that has been carried out. "Resume" described in the embodiments of the present invention may be replaced with descriptions such as "continue", "continuation", etc., which means to continue the unfinished data processing process during the pause.
具体实现中,所述数据处理过程包括不连续接收DRX过程;In a specific implementation, the data processing process includes a discontinuous reception DRX process;
所述第二处理模块23具体用于当所述监测模块21监测的所述释放时间超过所述时间阈值时,执行依附于所述非授权频谱的如下操作中至少一种:执行HARQ实体复位操作、执行使用所述非授权频谱的小区的去激活操作、停止所述各DRX定时器,以及,选择授权频谱重新开始新的DRX处理过程或者维持授权频谱正在进行的DRX处理过程或者在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,重新开始新的DRX处理过程。The second processing module 23 is specifically configured to perform at least one of the following operations attached to the unlicensed spectrum when the release time monitored by the monitoring module 21 exceeds the time threshold: performing a HARQ entity reset operation. , perform the deactivation operation of the cell using the unlicensed spectrum, stop the respective DRX timers, and, select the licensed spectrum to restart a new DRX process or maintain the ongoing DRX process of the licensed spectrum or at the base station After re-acquiring the unlicensed spectrum, a new DRX process is restarted.
其中,执行HARQ实体复位操作、执行使用所述非授权频谱的小区的去激活操作的处理方式,参考对HARQ的相关处理方式,在此不进行赘述。The processing methods for performing the HARQ entity reset operation and performing the deactivation operation of the cell using the unlicensed spectrum refer to the related processing methods for HARQ, which will not be repeated here.
具体实现中,当非授权频谱的小区与授权频谱的小区使用相同的DRX参数配置和DRX操作时,所述第二处理模块23终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程时,不停止所述各DRX定时器;In the specific implementation, when the cell of the unlicensed spectrum and the cell of the licensed spectrum use the same DRX parameter configuration and DRX operation, when the second processing module 23 terminates the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum, it does not stop all each DRX timer described above;
当非授权频谱的小区与授权频谱的小区执行不相同的DRX参数配置时,所述第二处理模块23终止依附于所述非授权频谱的数据处理过程时,停止所述各DRX定时器。When the unlicensed spectrum cell and the licensed spectrum cell perform different DRX parameter configurations, the second processing module 23 stops the DRX timers when terminating the data processing process attached to the unlicensed spectrum.
比如,以LTE-A为例,当非授权频谱上的SCell执行独立于授权频谱上的PCell和SCell的DRX操作,即该SCell上的DRX参数配置和UE在该SCell上的活动时间独立于授权频谱上的载波的DRX参数配置和活动时间。本发明实施例第二处理模块23不停止所述各DRX定时器。而当非授权频谱上的SCell执行与授权频谱上的PCell和SCell的共同DRX操作(common DRX),现有技术中共同DRX操作指各SCell上的DRX参数配置重用PCell上的DRX参数配置,UE在各SCell和PCell上的活动时间规律相同,即激活状态的各SCell和PCell要么都处于活动时间(active time),要么都处于非活动时间(inactive time)。此时,第二处理模块23对非授权频谱上的SCell执行去激活操作或HARQ复位操作,但不停止各DRX定时器,因为授权频谱上的PCell和其他SCell的DRX操作的正常进行还需要依赖于这些定时器的运行或停止。For example, taking LTE-A as an example, when the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum performs the DRX operation that is independent of the PCell and SCell on the licensed spectrum, that is, the DRX parameter configuration on the SCell and the active time of the UE on the SCell are independent of the license. DRX parameter configuration and active time of carriers on the spectrum. The second processing module 23 in this embodiment of the present invention does not stop the DRX timers. When the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum performs a common DRX operation (common DRX) with the PCell and the SCell on the licensed spectrum, the common DRX operation in the prior art means that the DRX parameter configuration on each SCell reuses the DRX parameter configuration on the PCell, and the UE The active time rules on each SCell and PCell are the same, that is, each SCell and PCell in the active state are either in active time (active time) or in inactive time (inactive time). At this time, the second processing module 23 performs a deactivation operation or a HARQ reset operation on the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum, but does not stop each DRX timer, because the normal operation of the DRX operation of the PCell and other SCells on the licensed spectrum still depends on depending on the running or stopping of these timers.
本实施例提供的DRX处理方案,可以使UE根据非授权频谱释放时间的长短进行相应的处理,如对DRX定时器的处理和监听PDCCH的处理,使非授权频谱释放期间和LTE重新获取非授权频谱后的DRX操作能够顺利进行或延续,以利于UE在非授权频谱工作时达到更好的省电效果。The DRX processing solution provided in this embodiment can enable the UE to perform corresponding processing according to the length of the unlicensed spectrum release time, such as the processing of the DRX timer and the processing of monitoring the PDCCH, so that the unlicensed spectrum release period and LTE re-acquisition of unlicensed The post-spectrum DRX operation can be carried out or continued smoothly, so that the UE can achieve better power saving effect when working in the unlicensed spectrum.
具体实现中,所述数据处理过程包括自动重传请求ARQ过程;In a specific implementation, the data processing process includes an automatic repeat request ARQ process;
所述第一处理模块22具体用于在所述监测模块21监测的所述释放时间未超过时间阈值时,执行依附于所述非授权频谱的如下操作中至少一种:挂起无线链路控制层RLC的重排序定时器、挂起轮询重传定时器;以及,在所述基站重新获取所述非授权频谱后,执行依附于所述非授权频谱的如下操作中至少一种:恢复无线链路控制层的重排序定时器,并在所述重排序定时器超时后触发RLC状态报告;恢复轮询重传定时器,并在所述轮询重传定时器超时后触发设置了轮询位的RLC数据单元重传或发送新的RLC数据单元。The first processing module 22 is specifically configured to perform at least one of the following operations attached to the unlicensed spectrum when the release time monitored by the monitoring module 21 does not exceed a time threshold: suspend radio link control; a reordering timer and a pending polling retransmission timer of the layer RLC; and, after the base station re-acquires the unlicensed spectrum, at least one of the following operations attached to the unlicensed spectrum is performed: restore wireless The reordering timer of the link control layer, and trigger the RLC status report after the reordering timer expires; restore the polling retransmission timer, and trigger the setting of polling after the polling retransmission timer expires A bit RLC data unit is retransmitted or a new RLC data unit is sent.
以LTE-A为例,在CA所聚合的各小区由同一个LTE基站所提供的情况下,RLC状态报告(RLC status report)、设置了轮询位(poll)的RLC协议数据单元(PDU)、需要重传的RLCPDU等信息可以在授权频谱上的PCell或SCell或者在非授权频谱上的SCell进行发送,因此当LTE临时释放非授权频谱后,UE和基站自然可以在授权频谱上的PCell或SCell上发送上述信息。但是,如果CA所聚合的各小区由不同的LTE基站所提供的情况下,如果提供非授权频谱的小区所在的基站没有配置其它授权频谱,则非授权频谱释放时间大于一定门限时,UE和基站可以通过另外一个基站所提供的小区进行发送。Taking LTE-A as an example, in the case that each cell aggregated by CA is provided by the same LTE base station, the RLC status report (RLC status report), the RLC protocol data unit (PDU) with the polling bit (poll) set , Information such as RLCPDUs that need to be retransmitted can be sent on the PCell or SCell on the licensed spectrum or the SCell on the unlicensed spectrum, so when LTE temporarily releases the unlicensed spectrum, the UE and the base station can naturally be on the PCell or SCell on the licensed spectrum. The above information is sent on the SCell. However, if the cells aggregated by the CA are provided by different LTE base stations, and if the base station where the cell that provides the unlicensed spectrum is located does not have other licensed spectrum configured, then when the unlicensed spectrum release time is greater than a certain threshold, the UE and the base station The transmission can be performed through a cell provided by another base station.
在3GPP小小区增强(SCE,small cell enhancement)项目中,可以在基站间进行CA,主基站(MeNB,master eNB)提供PCell和0至多个SCell,辅基站(SeNB,secondary eNB)提供1至多个SCell,如果SeNB配置了上行,则SeNB至少一个SCell需要配置PUCCH,该SCell为SeNB上的主小区。对于用户面的数据无线承载(data radio bearer),可以仅位于SeNB上,通过SeNB和服务网关(SGW,serving gateway)的S1-U接口进行通信;可以分裂(split)为两个逻辑信道(logical channel)通过MeNB与UE的无线接口和SeNB与UE的无线接口和UE进行数据传输,通过MeNB与SGW的S1-U接口与网络进行通信。如果SeNB上仅提供了一个主小区,且该主小区在非授权频谱上,则LTE释放非授权频谱后需要对ARQ过程进行相应的处理。比如,如果在LTE释放非授权频谱之前:UE从SeNB接收到一个或多个下行RLC协议数据单元(PDU,packet data unit),但没有来得及向基站发送RLC状态报告(RLC status report)反馈RLC PDU的接收状态,包括RLC PDU接收成功ACK和/或接收失败NACK的信息;和/或UE向SeNB发送了一个或多个RLC PDU,但还没有接收到SeNB发送的RLC状态报告,或者UE已经接收到了SeNB发送的RLC状态报告,但未来得及执行RLC PDU重传,在这些情况下,均涉及非授权频谱释放后的ARQ处理问题。In the 3GPP small cell enhancement (SCE, small cell enhancement) project, CA can be performed between base stations, the master base station (MeNB, master eNB) provides PCell and 0 to multiple SCells, and the secondary base station (SeNB, secondary eNB) provides 1 to multiple SCell, if the SeNB is configured with uplink, at least one SCell of the SeNB needs to configure the PUCCH, and the SCell is the primary cell on the SeNB. For the data radio bearer of the user plane, it can only be located on the SeNB, and communicate through the S1-U interface of the SeNB and the serving gateway (SGW, serving gateway); it can be split into two logical channels (logical channels). channel) to transmit data through the radio interface between the MeNB and the UE and between the SeNB and the UE and the UE, and communicate with the network through the S1-U interface between the MeNB and the SGW. If only one primary cell is provided on the SeNB, and the primary cell is on the unlicensed spectrum, the ARQ process needs to be processed accordingly after the LTE releases the unlicensed spectrum. For example, if before LTE releases unlicensed spectrum: UE receives one or more downlink RLC protocol data units (PDU, packet data unit) from SeNB, but does not have time to send RLC status report (RLC status report) to base station to feedback RLC PDU and/or the UE has sent one or more RLC PDUs to the SeNB, but has not received the RLC status report sent by the SeNB, or the UE has received The RLC status report sent by the SeNB is reached, but the RLC PDU retransmission cannot be performed in the future.
